DIED — At Salem, on the 11st instant, of an apoplectic fit, Frederick William MARSHALL, Esq.  Senior Civilis of the Unitas Fratrura.  He was of noble extraction, born in Saxony, Feb. 6, 1721.  He lived to the age of 81, of which he spent about 31 years in Germany, 15 in Englad, 12 in Holland, about 3 2 1/2 in the United States of America, and about <…> years at sea in passing backwards and forwards.  He was one of the first promoters of the settlements of the Brethern in North Carolina.

The United Brethern have lost in him an indefatigable, “faithful, and very much regretted Director of their general concerns’ and the State a much esteemed citizen. – We add, that his urbanity of manners greatly contributed to the civilization of the first settlers of that part of the country in which he died.  His integrity and benevolence were truly exemplary.  As a neighbour and a friend, his services were not less useful than patriotic.  In him were combined completely, the Christian, the Gentleman and the Scholar.
